Dungeon Master S's "No Plunder, No Pay" [Standard] (Inactive)

Game Master Chris Marsh

Welcome to my Play-by-Post!
Here's the ctrl+P for all my games:
1. I've been running games since the late 1980s, I've seen a lot of editions. I started playing PFS with Slot 1 Season 0 at Gen Con. I'm solid with the PFRPG rules, but everyone makes mistakes. I'll try to be as fair as possible.
2. I'm a Venture-Lieutenant for Southern NH. If you're ever in the area, or you need help finding games/conventions there. PM me.
3. I post with a high rate of frequency. That being said, if you guys can post 2-3 times per day, awesome. If it's only 1/day I understand. No worries. Real Life Comes First (tm).
4. Let's get started:
Player Name:
PC Name:
PFS#:
Faction:
Day Job: Feel free to roll now.
Notes: Anything I should know; passive abilities, boons that are way out there, etc.

Dot. I'll fill in everything else his afternoon.

Yo! *salutes*

Player Name: dien
PC Name: Drax the Destroyer
PFS#: 30341-13
Faction: The Exchange
Day Job: (none)
Notes: Uh hmn. Drax has an oddball move speed of 35' due to Raptorscale, and he's a TWF archetype, which gets circumstantial bonuses to AC and attacks. I've tried to lay them out clearly on his sheet, and I'll try to keep my stat line updated accurately in the game, but just putting it out there. He has a jingasa. GM permitting, he doesn't look like he's wearing any armor, because it's glamered (i.e., glamered says it looks like a 'normal set of clothes', but, well, this is Drax, so ideally it looks like a complete lack of shirt, because how else can he show off his pecs and his tats?).
This is actually my first time playing him in anything not Emerald Spire; our local Emerald Spire fell apart and is unlikely to resume, so it's time to see how he fares in a regular scenario when he doesn't have the party he normally had around him, heh. He was a niche build for that party and we'll see how it goes!
I'll go through his sheets today and look at his boons, but I don't think there's anything special.

Thanks for the info Drax. Technically speaking it's command word to make your armor look like clothes (it's a standard action.) That being said, you can picture your armor however you want :-)

DRAX WILL PICTURE NO ARMOR. >:[[[[[[

(ahem, yes. Yeah, I figure he commands it to be non-visible/glamered at the start of the day and goes from there.)

More aimed at the party than the GM: is anyone else intending to get into melee? Without looking at individual builds, the initial sign-up looked like a bunch of casters, which is part of why I brought Drax despite him being low tier, but Drax is always happy for flank buddies to pick up a little extra damage on attacks. That said, that's not a request, just a nice bonus if anyone is more melee-oriented than their stereotypical class line might suggest. :P

Also, I'm filking "Candle on the Water" in my head now.

I'll be the martial in your par-ty
My character can stab and shank
I know you all... are casters
Medics, buffers, blasters
Don't give up, you have someone to taaaank...

(Note he is only an 8 so don't expect miracles ;__; )

Good point: APL is 9.5 That's low tier.

Huh, so it is. I could have sworn the 4 10s would push us higher.

Hate to make everyone play low for my sake. :-\ I don't have a martial at high tier, but I do have several other casters who are 10.

eta Don't we actually play the high tier? We're right in the middle and we're a party of 6. I always get fuzzy on this, but from the guide:

"When the APL of a table
is between two subtiers (like APL 3 for a Tier 1–5 scenario),
a party of four characters must play the lower tier without
any adjustments for party size. A party of five to seven
characters whose APL is between two subtiers must play
the higher tier with the four-character adjustment."

Player Name: Zinou
PC Name: Voros
PFS#: 93583-1
Faction: Liberty's Edge
Day Job: Take 10 for 35.
Notes:
1) Voros' bow has the conductive enhancement which allows him, on a successful hit, to expand two uses of a SU ability (in my case, bombs) to apply the effect to the attack. Usable once per round.
2) Voros always fires using clustered shots (either with bow or bombs).
I guess that's all...

I'm happy to play once again with you, DM S!

Good to see you!

As for APL, You're right. I mentally forgot the subtier is 10-11. This is a higher tier game (and an old scenario, so high tier is better anyway.)

Hey, I'll post my info when I get home this evening. I havent played Psycho in PbP since level 6, so I need to get his new stats up too.

Player Name: Gerald
PC Name: Alie Saechel
PFS#: 12445-2
Faction: Sovreign Court
Day Job: Perform Vocal 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Player Name: GM Aarvid
PC Name: Fendahl Silvermane (and Kirrah)
PFS#: 9884-3
Faction: Grand Lodge
Day Job: hunter: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Notes: Kirrah is a large lion that Fendahl will sometimes ride.
Fendahl casts extended greater magic weapon on Kirrah each morning for 18hrs duration.
Fendahl is wearing +2 hosteling dragonhide full plate, so in cities or ships etc where a large lion is a problem, Kirrah will enter into the platemail's lion emblem.

Both Fendahl and Kirrah are happy to get into melee and flank with Drax.

And finally, since attire has been mentioned, Kirrah is wearing leather armor(barding). But if Fendahl goes into dire-lion form, he will not be wearing clothes. :)

K, all up to date now!

Player Name: Hrothdane
PC Name: Psycho Mantis
PFS#: 99807-7
Faction: Dark Archive
Day Job: None

Notes:

Psycho Mantis is a psychic spellcaster, so he's got some weird things if you are not familiar with their mechanics. His caster level for divination spells is 13, and he casts Mind Thrust IV like it's 15 thanks to spell specialization.

I have a psychic too, so it should be okay. Mine is considerably lower level though

Hello there, just letting you know that I'll be in the mountains this week-end. I don't know if I'll find any wifi there.

No worries. I'll make the first post Monday. People can post RP and introductions any time. Have fun this weekend!

Hail and well-met Pathfinders!! I've the good fortune of being a RL friend of our DMS and he's been my tabletop DM for over 20 years (holy sh1te). I could not find a complaint about his DMing if I tried. He and I were at Season 0 at GenCon together--and I played with this very character!!

Player name Mike
Char name Val
PFS # 2296-1 <--season 0 yo!!
FACTION Liberty's Edge
Day Job--Prof(Sailor): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27

DMS is familiar with Val...this is for the players benefit...
I'm an archer cleric, Luck & Travel. I focus on party/individual buffs + healing, dealing damage is 2ndary as most PFS chars I run with are very good at that part--I help make em better :-). Drax I dig the TWF archetype; you'll be a good candidate for Bit of Luck

Char is L10 but not updated on Paizo site yet; will be by Sat evening

Sounds great, Val. :) And cheers for the offer of requests-- great support buffers are a boon to every party. I'll take a glance at the cleric spells.

eta: I wouldn't turn down a Weapon of Awe if you have a 2nd level slot free, just for whenever things start looking dicey. Beyond that, Drax's Will save is fairly crummy, so whatever you think might be good in the event of charms, dominates, fears, and all those other fighter-bane kinda things would certainly not be turned down (note to self, purchase that clear spindle soon). But whatever you wanna prep. :)

I've got three extended heroisms a day. Psycho will be taking one for himself, and Drax can have one :)

Between me and Alie "Hello, Darling! My Champion...." ;), we should be able to keep Heroism up on everyone I think.

I will eventually be Telepathic Bonding all of us, once the timing is appropriate (it will last for 100 minutes). I get one free use as an SLA, and I can sac' spell slots of 4th or higher to cast it again to keep it up.

Shiny! Drax is willing to play at being a hero, for once. ;)

Lol, Mantis is going to hate Alie. He just has so many cool things that she is going to have to focus on for a bit!

Is the tactical map at the top correct? It says prince of augustana?

It's correct. I haven't updated the title yet.

DMS is dealing with a family issue. His posting will be light this week, plz be patient :-)

Thanks Val. Games are my favorite escape. If I'm near a computer or Wayfinder, I'll find a way to post. That being said, I'll be offline Friday and Saturday this week.

I have an idea to make this scene work smoothly. Let's see how it goes...

I'm sorry to read that, DMS.
Please take your time. We can wait if you don't feel like posting. :)

I appreciate it. Posting right now is about all I feel like doing.

Good luck with Things. We're here if and when you can.

Once we handle Round 1 of the storm, I may make future rounds one massive post. At the table this scene would be fast dice rolling and me gesticulating wildly (with a 3D model of course.) One massive post may make it easier to advance without sacrificing anything. Hope you guys don't mind.

Haha I'd love to see that (you gesticulating wildly with a 3D model) :D

I've seen it Yes you would love to see it Usually the players are gesticulating even more wildly...

Hey guys. Memorial is tomorrow I'm CT. I'll be sporadic until sunday. My apologies. I'm usually the fastest GM on the boards.

Hello! Just a quick heads up to say that I'll be out of town this week-end. See you Sunday evening!

I must say GM, awesome picture of the ship cutaway. Was that included in the scenario or did you find it elsewhere?

Thank you. Nope, that was a google search. I needed something to help with the visuals, but thank you!

Hail! Chronicles are HERE I made a special one for Alie after the Storm scene. If there's anything you need changed, please don't hesitate to PM me. I'll likely close this thread tomorrow afternoon (or sooner if everyone checks in and is all set.)

Got it here!

I do have a post 12 character, but I'm playing her at a Con in a few weeks, and I think she might be a bit ahead of the curve of your regular seeker group in terms of levels (14 now, should hit 15 at the Con). Also she's played Academy, alas.

Chronicle downloaded. Thanks for that!

Got it! Love the Stormtamer note!

Got mine! Thank you!

Ditto - looks good.

done and done. thanks again for a spiffy adventure--and Psycho, i'll see you in Torch!!

oh...and I'm ticking a 'freed a captive' box on my sheet yo
